101 dogs saved from puppy mill, and no they’re not dalmatians

Members of the SPCA of Wake County in North Carolina, and Raleigh Animal Control rescued 101 dogs from an alleged puppy mill last week.

They were immediately removed from the property and given medical treatment, as well as some much-needed grooming, the SPCA said. 

“Egregious conditions” 

Dig deeper:

The SPCA and animal rescue arrived within an hour of receiving a complaint about chickens living in poor conditions on the property on June 5, according to the nonprofit’s Facebook post.

The dogs were being housed in “egregious conditions” and were surrounded by their own waste.

Some of the dogs were packed five or six to one cage that were stacked on top of one another from the floor to the ceiling.

There were other dogs that were not caged but still put in cramped quarters.

Additionally, there were numerous dogs that were nursing young puppies.

Photos shared by the rescue show dogs that were filthy with matted fur.

What’s next:

After some tender, loving care, some of the dogs were already being taken to their forever homes, while others were continuing their care as they still had puppies to nurse and being observed by veterinary staff.

What breed of dogs were rescued? 

There were several types of dog breeds among the rescued pups including Pomeranians, Yorkshire terriers, and “doodle” mixes, according to a local news report. 

Donations 

What you can do:

The SPCA is asking for donations to continue caring not just for the 101 dogs that were rescued, but for other animals that need medical help.
